AOE is great but even with all the buffs it doesn't kill anything in h40 unless direct hit
big boom is essentially mandatory for anything other than reaper sniping yet its hidden in narnia
And you get taxed 5% reload speed
And you can't take bullrush if you want big boom too
u bounce one off a specials head n if it lands more than like 2 feet from them they survive
At least taunt is valuable.
Imo bullrush is still great, but it requires teammates with semi decent positioning
Yeah, but it's not a bust having to go for it.
I want build diversity lol
u will take taunt with go again and club n will be happy
The h40 ogryn builds all follow the same formula
Only problem is rotten armour + final toll
Can't hold ground by stagger spam
i only play ogryn in havoc out of a sense of duty at this point
Hmm just got a bleed burn rumble oggy in my game
He did decent not sure how much ammo he ate tho
I didn't used to run ovenproof's modifier for the scoreboard... once I did, dipped into powerDI for a bit too, stats showed just how little the added dots do in some cases.
Yeah shrapnel is ass too
it "feels nice" cause it sometimes finishes off those handful of poxwalkers on the edge of the boom that didn't quite die from it... so I guess that's the use there...
but in terms of actual added damage... basically nothing. bit of comfort food in that you don't have to waste time bonking the trash to wrap up the horde clear, but you have a team that can also help with that, so it's mostly just bad
Is the only use on 9 nade box of boom?
honestly, not even that. box of boom does nothing, damage wise, it's more of a crowd-control tool
so a bit of added flame won't make or break anything
rumbler is brain dead broken
even 4 stacks of flame is really just poxwalker killing power
just sit back and press m1 😂
39k bleed 40k burn okay maybe he didn't do so good 
the rumbler is strong as fuck on its base merits alone, the lil extra dots really don't change its performance much
my point exactly. he did a mil though, so he did fine.... but the burn and bleed added fuck-all
Just funny AoE brittle because FS never fixed it?
pretty much
aoe brittle, big boom, adhesive good on monsters to maximize boom...
but overall, it's just the base stats that make it strong, and the fact that on a melee build, pretty much all your other ranged weapons are useless, except maybe the heaviest heavy stubber which is decent special sniping
although if you're a melee ogryn in charge of special sniping, the team comp failed you
me every single pub
exactly
Snipe with rock 
I do like the grenade gauntlet more though
more ammo, less of a waste when shooting individual humies
and can also brittle on boom
plus massive chain stagger if you chain specials into a horde of bulwarks, while brittling them to 40%
Well, is like asking me to go on special duty... it's a really bad idea.
double barrel shovel krak vet is bread and butter
More... shadeblind (dregs on sand maps is fun) 300 ping on controller with a bistol.
All of these talents work really well with rumbler, so it's very expensive to build it
don't really need the ones on the left though, and pbb is trash, so most rumblegryns are just melee taunters with blo instead of heavy hitter
But taking lucky bullet is also very detrimental to h40 builds since HH and FNP are very good
The 10% rending does a lot, and the extra ranged DMG is also good
depends on your role. you can horde clear the thickest hordes like a mofo with BLO rumbler, and still taunt and tanks as melee. you give up a bit of melee damage for thick mixed-horde clearing with the rumbler.
not really any worse really, depends on whether the team needs your help with the hordes or not.
with how OP psykers are these days, they usually don't
lmao 5% rending
Man this was some fat and juicy shriek.
you won't notice that rending node doing anything on the rumbler.
placing the grenade 1 foot to the left will have a much bigger impact
carapace perk + adhesive charge, you'll be fine without it
I think just 10% rending does +40% DMG vs carapace
it's fine, I can't math either
it increases that inner radius
big boom gives you.... ready for this?... a bigger... boom!
i wasn't ready for that :(
did u go to zealot chat ?
BEEG BOOMIES!
no i just wasn't ready for this revelation
I try not to, it gets... unhealthy in there
Zeaot chat is a fascinating case study however
every discord has "that channel"... zealot chat is "that channel"
Also general.
They fight over it.
in why humanity has maybe gone on long enough and it's time to end this experiment?
somethin
i keep forgetting genchat is a thing
so I wanted to run a quick auric before I head off and run some errands...
malestrom is dog hordes, choices of lights out, lights out, vent purge, pox gas, pox gas.... game is telling me not to play right now
a whisper from the warp
ok but what's the worst havoc modifier
all of them
had a teammate yesterday that was a flame staff psyker that was specced into empowered psionics and assumed the role of specialist sniper with head burst instead.... when we had a plasma vet.... that's the worst modifier!
With corruption cleanse abilities blight spreads becomes the easiest, it might be the worst without though
Final Toll is a tragedy
Fascinating lmao
Is the vet failing to snipe?
no... I wasn't... I'm not the most OP vet out there, but I can click on yellow things with the OP whoosh canon
empowered psionics = go-go-gadget chain lightning
you don't need to snipe the specialist if the room is empty
smite w/ scrier's + ep is quite silly
the irony is... with that combo... the vet MIGHT have trouble sniping, and thus need the head burst flame psyker to help him... if he's overrun by horde enemies....
the problem sorta creates itself with that approach.
but i usually don't run it because participating in damage vs armor & bosses is usually more important because it's lacking
the instant i try smiting we get hit with twins + two bosses & a captain lmao
that seems fair
get that tickle finger nonsense outta here
the weird thing is... smite has a bad rep because of perma-smiting... but if you actually build it as a horde clear tool, it'd be fine.
I wonder if they removed the perma-stun effect from it and upped its damage a little...
Smite is insanely good at horde clear with the damage from enhanced psionics
But then
so is the staff of spicy air
Very spicy air.
i suppose ill spend weekend grinding havoc
managed to get to clearance 6 so might as well keep going
34 more to go son
cant wait to get bombarded by rotten armours
why do I see some bubble knight builds using assail? Wouldn't one of the other two be better?
No it's good for dd upkeep and quick stagger on some elites.
Also it's nice to conserve some ammo as well from your gun.
It also is another way to get mm stacks up.
I kinda like to take smite cause sometimes it feels like better support than the bubble tbh


dang between using assail where I'm actually using the blitz a lot and warp ghost I really gotta be quelling a lot
I might drop warp ghost I hate having to quell every 20 seconds
Use and abuse crack of bone
oh wow wait how did I miss this talent
Crack of bone is like the solution to warp ghost
And also works like a charm on scrier's gaze
Anybody interested in getting through Havoc 20, weekday nights?
And also helps with illisi special heavy funnies, if you're into that
what guns would yall recommend
I'm not running a staff because the staves feel too strong and I'm not a bum so I need to choose a gun, so far I've been running bolt pistol for minor horde and special clear
Bolt pistol is dope too
hmm revolver.......... do you use the braced or the ads one?
The real bubble knight build doesn't use warp ghost.
Bubble Balloon knight though is different.
what is balloon knight and how does it differ
does it go to the sky
up into the spires, where it gets really pretty?
flying with masozi?
"real"
tru tru
I dunno I copy some guy his build is probably fake too.
But it doesn't have warp ghost.
it's a video game it's all fake
Real
anyways which revolver mark do you use?
I've seen some people go the route of trying to make the braced one really accurate and others just do the ads one
The green one is for sniping funnies, while the blue one is for funny boss damage and some sniping
thoughts on build i should be aiming for for non havoc runs and for havoc runs
wanting any ideas on strong talent/weapon ideas for psyker, just got the game a few days ago and im enjoying it thouroughly
everyone is the main character until proven otherwise
we would all do well to remember that
it do be having some funny boss damage
true fact
fixed my whole build
for nonhavoc, basically whatever you want. blazing trauma is a good versatile weapon.
for havoc, also blazing trauma, have an inferno shriek build on hand as well, and good ol' bubbleknight
I mean, is a way to play psyker as not a psyker.
This is my ranking of classes rn
1 Psyker/Hivescum
2 Arby/vet
2 Ogryn/zealot
an example of blazing traumas power, auric maelstrom
ah, but what is melee psyker if not a zealot in disguise?
meditate on that, sibling
I like to rotate between my different flavors of melee
one can only play zealot for so long before craving something new
and that is zealot melee psyker
Melee vet with bonus BOOMS.
speaking of, how's the power falchion?
Zealot and ogryn both feel weak in h40
Apparently it's ass
my hivescum build? Zealot with poison. My veteran build? zealot with occasional gun. My psyker build? zealot with moonlight greatsword
Honestly if they added a stun immunity talent to vet it would be better on melee than zealot
Because of psword
my hands be hurting I'm playing too much darktide and clicking too much
also my last game crashed rip
darktide is a perfectly working game
but what about big psword
Psword is much better than relic blade
LOL @ MLGS
MLGS my beloved
Unironically, mind your health. Warm-ups help, cooldowns too.
It has awful mobility though, that's why it needs stun immunity
yeah I prob should
fgs with force sword blessing pool would be
well
it would definitely be something
Yeah I wish
imagine slaughterer on fgs
slaughterer uncanny bleed fgs
Deflector, unstable power, superiority, uncanny, slaughterer, riposte, precog
All S tier blessings
bleeds crushers from range
although i think fgs has little need for uncanny
superiority slaughterer sounds spicy
i feel like you'd still want unstable
probably yeah
but slaughterer is hard to pass on
superiority is easier to skip
If you're using staff build then unstable is better, if you're using melee focused then slaughterer/superiority is better
Golden rotten crusher in tox gas
What in the damage reduction
But have you considered adding more pox gas?

Highly recommend that if something like this is a hobby for you that you do regularly that you take those little steps towards maintaining health. Fine to have fun and all that. But you have more fun when your body is actually able to keep being around to do the things, right? Worth it imo.
respectable choice
also if you're on PC there are qol methods to let you click less
e.g. fullauto if you're using laspistol/inf las so you don't have to click once for each shot
I shall take it into account when my fingies start going owie oof oof
This one too.
Blue recon but I made it semi-auto
Does cruel fortune only apply to marked targets?
And for the love of fuck all, take breaks. Sounds lame maybe but you gotta take a break from the game. Don't matter how young or old you are, flesh is flesh.
for fast melee weapons you can use something like skiitarius (?) or keepswinging, or for a more manual method i have an autohotkey script that lets me light attack on scroll down as well as left click, so i can just scroll my mouse wheel and spam lights that way
Nah superiority is better than slaughterer for its use cases
Meh at best.
Newer to psyker, this good enough for BFG build going into havoc?
switch wrath to unstable power, and switch maniac to unyielding
i'd also upgrade the dmg to 80 but it'll function fine
don't I want to keep WARP resist under 31%? i read that somewhere
low warp res can be good on some builds
oh also mk 6 is better, but, it is technically preference
the stab on mk 6 is just far easier to access
most, but yeah
yeah i like the sweeps on mk 8. Learned the push stab combo
warp res being low is more a side treat than a main thing
is the last 5% in damage worth trying for a better roll?
for havoc you want all the damage you can get usually
get the damage to 80 and stop
So there can be a perfect roll, ok ill use it for now till i can score a better one
thanks, is 5% strenth that strong?
all it does is make it so two sword activations brings you to 100% peril
also, unstable stacks 4x
its 20% strength
at 80 peril +
ooook they should prob fix that
ok so maybe you can explain this to me. Im using a scier's gaze build right. Don't i want to keep peril low? But all the BFG builds mention getting to 100% peril how come?
because peril make damage go brr
and, warp splitting
+20% damage from warp rider at 80 peril, cleave going up with peril, +20% strength from unstable power, then you get buffs from scriers and DD, and malefic momentum
so, no, you dont want low peril
staying in scriers is relatively pointless
ok so use sciers more like a burst damage skill rather than something to try and maintain?
ye
its a free ride to high peril, and to free 11.5s of casting, for assail, warp slash, whatever else
it also comes back really quick
You can keep it up for a very long time with the warp reduction on melee talent in the middle of the tree forget the name.
no need
the talent points are better spent elsewhere
a lot of people think By Crack of Bone is good for scriers, but it works against you more than helps
Providing options not perfect refinement
horde spawns
activate scriers
use bcob, kill horde
sudden trapper
assail
peril hits 100
scriers ends
still more horde to kill
bcob quells you down
you lose cleave
you lose damage
you lose strength
boss spawns
scriers still on cooldown
Unstable power and those blessings are especially stronk bc its basically a 1.2x to all damage with unstable cranked up
Youtube’s atrocious auto dub feature is dubbing it into Spanish with no ability to change it. I don’t speak Spanish.
Truly we live in a society
time to learn spanish i guess
I know this sounds a little stupid, but does ranged damage bonuses affect brain rupture? I'm wondering if I should get rid of a talent or not, since I'm running a primarily melee psyker.
Check kulis guide on steam it details talent/skill interactions
Alright, I'll go check it out, thanks.
Huh. Uh. Idk what to do with that there but you can find tons of exercises for hands and the like online. Ideally, search for people whose credentials are valid. Not because only they can be correct, but that it can be much more insightful to actually engage with things from people who actually do have that real expertise.
Can also just cross-reference things.
warp rider doesn't scale at 20% peril increments like warp nexus does
Warp Rider is a smooth scale from 0 to 100, I believe
pretty sure the crusher was aiming for the ogryn
ah yes the mutie spitroast
it wasn't that, but just as lethal
It's honestly super weird not to see that room absolutely packed with rotten crushers
It should
Damage: base damage 900; always targets weakspots; cannot crit; ignores Bulwark shield; damage is increased by 'rending' / 'brittleness', Skullcrusher blessing (while staggered), by Combat Stimm, and buffs from Empowered Psionics, Empyric Shock, Disrupt Destiny, Malefic Momentum, Perfect Timing, Scrier's Gaze (including Precognition), Vulnerable Minds (against ogryns and monsters), Warp Rider, Warp Rupture, Warp Siphon, aura Kinetic Presence (against elites), and the small ranged damage node

This guide explains all of Psyker's talents and related mechanics. Talents of the other classes are detailed elsewhere:
Arbitrator's talents
[url=https://ste...
I found it interesting that, even if you're with the mutant, the crusher aims the attack somewhere else
Does this mean that if there was a bomber grenade there you'd also take damage in that place?
roll the clip of you getting shredded by gunners while grabbed by a mutie while i watched
also ok but those names are so good tho
especially rumbledore
I don't remember this, but similar things have happened enough that I believe you
i thinkit was aiming for the ogryn but something was weird idk
Turned into Swiss cheese
i love that for most people, that was only a few months ago
but for me its like, a year
cant remember shit 
lil baby psyker hexis
to be fair i do have the playtime to line up with it being a year ago, in comparison to most people
It was a clip of Sut playing with you that I stole cause it’s funny
AHhhhh
see, cant remember shit

does explain why i thought it was six at first
the S
and i play with six more than sut
Play auric, it's an honest life
Cranial was replaced with rampaging, it's just that people still had old cranial maps
I love rot orange
I love doing no damage
But tbh is quite easy cos they get cc
Just sometimes team with low damage can take long to clear map
Do we have some God tier psyker builds (it's been like 2/3 years since I played psyker)
Thank youuuu
if you have further questions, i'll answer what i can
Bet thank you bro
Ik the sorta build I'm going for it's just a case of levelling up lol
Who are the good YouTubers for psyker guides?
Can't remember if there's YT links in there but this can be a solid source with added explanations.
what psyker build should i do?
Is it bad I really hate all the staffs for psyker
No
No
Thank you! I’ll save this for when my friends get more in depth but I’m primarily looking for YouTube guides that are good, but also digestible
Check pins, the guide has a lot of builds and some for leveling if you need
I really wanna just go gun psyker
Okay
Those kinda don't exist for darktide
Very niche game and the people who make content either just do gameplay or try to make informative stuff but end up with it being questionable at best
Most of the resources for this game are in text
then do it
gun psyker is very strong
while its as said above by CDGC, theres not any real reliable youtube source, you can always ask here and demonstration clips aren't super hard to put together
I thought it would be ass
well, in the end it IS a melee psyker with a better gun, so
Everything with psyker is very strong/the strongest
Gun psyker is just melee psyker that takes tranquility through slaughter
lol
so if im doing smite psyker I should use dueling sword?
You shouldn't do smite psyker at all
Go whatever you find fun. Smite doesn't dictate what you need to bring. It's just a reposition tool
wgy
unless you wanna cosplay a shockmine, i'd take a weapon meant for smacking things like the FGS,
get the knife so you can avoid suddenly exploding barrels 😏
why?
Its not nearly as useful as it seems, and can make things worse, somehow
because it will teach you nothing helpful, and its a very unhelpful tool for the team 99% of the time
Feeble cursed one, I'm using Full Auto and always fire twice if I press the mouse button for longer than a hundredth of a second
Bugger, the smite hater
You will do largely the same thing spamming a trauma staff
this guide says i should bring dueling sword or shock staff for high single target dmg
And also do damage
Go for it
the number of times i have been locked into a bad position because the smyker decided to smite the horde behind me, or the crushers, then suddenly, releases everything, its just... headache
ive always found it useful yo be on my team
and with how unreliable smite is from an outside perspective, its just blargh
The one time the smite player does, in fact, not want the players to hit the stunned targets
i went out of my way to try all the ways to use smite, from the permastun builds to the meleeker builds, and its just
its so bad
Bland, boring, static, uneventful?
and the entire time i tried it, i thought of how much better assail would have done the job, or my melee, or my ranged
are assail and brain burst even good?
yes
Yes, why wouldn't they be?
just back when I played Brain burst was literally useless and assail was only alright so didnt know how much thay changes
Assail staggers ragers and does funny area damage
kinetic flayer has never been useless, and assail i dont think has ever been "just alright" ?
I don't think Brian burst was ever useless. I don't have info before patch 13
But you might've been using it wrong
Or we're just underleveled
this was like 2 years ago before all the reworks
assail is the only blitz of the three that can also be a main weapon
so, while leveling to 30 thats why we suggest it
Since being undergeard and leveled isn't accurate for how things perform for both tide games
Smite is probably the worst blitz to level
No damage and hurts the learning experience
people might use smite the whole time but it is 100% NOT a weapon
I have a level 30 psyker just need get the wepons for it basically
Brain burst has the slight issues of being ass as a base due to the charge time, which scales very poorly with higher mob density and needs certain workarounds
lol i found a full on smyker in the wild the other day. kinda surreal experience. i was tempted to recreate the barreling
Assail you can just put like 2 points on it and go to town
Though I'm glad kinetic flayer was mostly improved
so you guys are saying I shouldn't use smite
also assail is hella useful for free 25% damage to both itself and your melee
And it's always funny to double wall for the lightning fast brain popping
you CAN use it but dont expect to learn much at all while using it
didnt know force sword could do dat
You shouldn't overuse smite
Use what you want. Have fun. But downplaying other blitz might narrow your focus on learning. And if you are wanting to improve in the game smite will hurt you as it gives you bad habits
It's video game 
I wasnt downplaying them just didnt know how much better they have become
if i was to use smite what would be the good use cases of it?
2 things
Oftentimes when people are spamming smite on enemies and thinking they're super helping the team, they're actually just halting the game so that people do a slow cleanup that wasn't really necessary
revive covering, task covering
Cornered with armor or to cover an interaction (revive/objective)
It's super useful for when you know shit will hit the fan and people are gonna come out seriously hurt or go down
I will give it a try since I have the stuff for the smite build and dont have the stuff for the other builds
Have fun and good luck
they're also turning off all the damage perks people will get on dodge, but also throwing off the timing of peoples attacks/ flow of the horde, which can suddenly stop any "on chained hit" damage boosts as well, and the 10% enfeeble does NOTTTT make up for it not even close
Armor pack with zero room to maneuver? Time to halt the game
so basically never use it for dmg just to cc the hoard if we are in a really bad situation?
smite isnt damage, so, yeah
Absolute unit of an armor column with crushers, ragers and bulwarks? Time to halt the game
Anytime you think "yo, this is gonna be absolutely goddamn awful", you zap
It's not an efficient damage tool (assail/weapons does that role so much better)
Hell, you can even use it as a quick knockdown by doing the RMB tap
but also be considerate of the difficulty you're playing. a lot of armour to one person is different that a lot to someone else
It also swaps super fast, so you can swap and immediately zap something with LMB
Yeah, like rabbit family stuff
The point where it stops being fun and becomes desperation
The point where you say "but I wanna keep playing on this map"
also learn positioning soon as possible
Become a parkour god
the number of smykers ive heard tell me they know how to dodge, they know how to position, then go off and die who knows where 15 times ....
Waist-high geometry is a path to wicked powers
Oh yeah, today I was doing that new tank mission and we were at the small drop after Dragor blows up the first wall
The one with a door near a chest
It was raining hellfire and I got caught between two fire fields, and then I looked at this barrel with some crates and immediately played my outstanding move
movetech
meanwhile, the humble reconlas psyker:
Honestly surprised none of the quadrillion ranged enemies shot me on top of those crates
Desperately pushing the horde while going "please don't shoot me please don't shoot me"
i need to get a better ee clip, i just never think to clip a "that was 10 reapers, that was risky"
also because that sword slam makes me think of this sword slam
I think I don't have access to my EE clip anymore, but I was listening to some wacky version of Flashdance
Assassino Euclides
EE reminds me of doing missions in GTA Online
It didn't matter how accurate I was, only that I hit the enemy somewhere
GTA had some unbelievably deadly AI and abusing the ragdoll system was pretty much the way to go
Fire first and magdump
man after playing zealot for the last week all the other characters feel so easy to kill
Petition to revert psyker to the first version of the current talent tree
Put the fear of God in the youngsters
try arb
Give psyker the crusher
.5s stamina delay, finesse keystone, scrier's gaze
I can't possibly see it backfiring
who would use it?
Me
dont own it
pay 
but im fine with current characters
Mfw no balloon
sure sign me up
what are the use cases for assail?
Throw at shotgunners, gunners, (dreg) ragers, trappers (use 3-4 to be sure)...
Ranged trash, trash horde/small elite packs, and specials
Well, just throw at anything without cara.
It'll kill some of them for MM and get your peril up.
so for my wepons I want things that are good at killing cara?
Melee, yes.
is like a fully melee psyker good? it looks fun
you want to save a point compared to BB.
I mean, you FGS, you always have range.
Yeah, it's fantastic and very strong
melee psyker feels pretty awsome
grey knights dream
meleeker is goated
old clip, could spar them better, but, i present, melee
melee
melee
ya i made the build earlier and now im in love its just zealot but a glass cannon its great
Better than zealot.
man if that was before crusher hp increase you could legit onetap on crits
depends what u would rather have because zealots just so hard to kill but psyker does way more dmg
Oh it was more playing as one.
I tried a zealot evis game earlier and I kept thinking how I wished I was on melee psyker.
current PB big stab is 14k dmg
and blessings
psyker has no hope of ever beating zealots highest hit dmg potential but its still fun to try reaching for those stars
eh, dont care
It's like Eula all over, hard set up for massive boom but usually not worth the trade off for just hitting high constantly.
the 14k dmg from FGS stab just happens in a normal game, tbf
stab captain in face, win
as for zealots, its very consistent
if youre good
I just make my GF do it to entertain me.
And not hitting air half the time.
Went back to EU pubs on stealth zealot. Headstabs count as body.
So gave up and just used ult to rescue and pick ppl up.
all of the above (except i use a bistol)
Extremely valid
I tend to do the same to reload plasma gun
ill use SF for res, boss delete, objectives, whatever is needed
I mean, I pub with bistol.
Who knows if I somehow need to do the job of the specialist hunter as the last LAST resort.
in havocs thats my main job
keep specials off dom
specials, bosses
granted keeping specials off dom is ALWAYS my job
but alas
I'm literally the worst person for it but, sometimes, just have to.
My arby will be good on that
Who wants max thunderous and skullcrusher stacks on all the crushers 
I'll be on in 15 mins
Are you playing psyker or another class
Been struggling Havocs on my hivescum with randoms, until met first competent bubble psyker, suddenly it was smooth sailing without any fails for 2 hours
Think i should dust off my almost 2 year old psyker and do the bubble+inferno too with it, so im not relying on others for it
well
was the bubble used more to cover from gunfire, or was it to guide you to where to move to next? because the latter is more common
Scum is very easy to clutch and solo
whats easy for one may not be easy for another
Hmm not sure we can go 2 scums 1 arby
Well if you're not a good player then no class is easy to clutch with lol
For meme
if you already know how the pathing works, you can clutch on any class with any weapons
2 scums doesn't work imo
Yeah no cleave
But I was thinking bubble knight on a red and blight
Cos I don't wanna abuse purg too much
We have a toxin scum for cleanse.
Get online son
Yesir
Map knowledge is an understated aspect of clutching. Gotta know your drops n loops.
And dem slotz
this is also true
if you dont know the map well, you dont know where you can kite
or, more aptly, where to not kite
I've dodged myself into a corner too many times
I ledge myself cos scummer dodge is too powerful
Also I've found with scum, even if I'm fully blocked in by bodies, if I keep spamming dodge to the side I manage to slip though
Both i suppose
When the psyker went down, i was in this one map i haven played 1-2 times in past 1½ year that is a maze and was just honestly lost
So all i could do was beeline towards revive spot
Ive been only playing week aurics so what is easy for some oldtimer is quite different for me
You mean, dodge into a 1cm high stone and then blep.
I do this all the time on stairs I fuck the angle up
*Logistratum intensifies
Fuck that hallway
No man's land. I got caught on a stone trying to dodge/slide/run through the shelled area.
Its always dodging up the hill that seems to get me
It’s so soul crushing to watch occasional mechanically skilled player in maelstorm or havoc panic and go into a corner to try to hold out
“No! Play it like goddamn COD zombies, keep kiting and moving around to slow them down! Stop trying to put yourself in narrow alleyway dead ends because you think choke will help.”
The shelled areas are a death pit.
It’s a weird intuition to develop between “wanting choke points to funnel enemies while very explicitly wanting open spaces or points of escape so you don’t get trapped by swarm of carapace”
Meh. It can work but often it's better to move.
Im usually looking for a doorway that has somewhere to back into. Basically if the room has one way in don't go in there.
Is why no man's land is such a shitty map.
It's either too open with little cover or basically a 2 way street.
By that I mean, enemies front and/or back.
And no place to run around.
Honestly I have not had tons of issue with it, it’s mostly the last crater stretch that’s really rough
Because there’s still corners and buildings to break up LOS
It’s definitely very significantly open though compared to prior map
I kind of respect it tho
But still feels way, way better than the fucking clandestine gloriana power room
what I do not respect is fuckinb tox bombers on that map
that's what WWI soldiers said 😏
because you can REALLY see how overtuned their range/radius is
Holy shit do I hate that segment design with all of my heart
I get it.
Good luck when the tight path is choking.
big ass open area and 2 tox bombers cover half the fucking no man's land
actually insane that that enemy has caught zero nerfs
Wide ass space with tons of power stuff that’s high enough to break up your ability to run but is low enough that every shooter in the segment can hit you
I hope you brought rebreather.
You functionally have zero cover in that room unless you go to the high ground or that narrow pocket behind the power button platform
I still maintain that tox bombers could benefit from having glowing elements on their design and make them visible in the tox gas
Reward people willing to focus them out
tox bombers honest to god such an oppressive enemy type that I don't think a hard spawn cap of 1 would be unwarranted
fun fact about that
their grenades do glow green
it just blends into their piss yellow robes
because they have one of the most indistinct visual profiles of any goddamn enemy in the fucking game
Because unlike normal glowing bomber, it does not hinder los as extreme of a fashion.
they just look like a normal ass dreg stalker
Yeah I wrote about it before
The design being changed would do a lot to help the enemy type feel more reasonable to fight against
Because as is, it’s like “if you fuck up and fail to find the bomber before he tosses first gas
Now he’s benefiting significantly from LOS to keep spamming it more and more
Or other bombers that spawns in
They compound on their strengths too much, so having them being easy to detect in middle of the gas would help some of that
yeah fun fact about that
I actually downloaded spidey senses mod specifically because of tox bomber audio issues
turns out no actually their audio works fine most of the time
They just throw a bomb the same frame they spawn because of how comical their range is
I have that mod too but I only use it for disablers
So I don’t oversaturate my UI with information and just end up missing obvious stuff
They are also one of two enemies that I see the good ol' "audio from 2 rooms away sometimes doesn't play" issue with
Snipers do it very infrequently
Tox Bombers do it all the goddamn time
So you can have a scenario where a tox bomber spawns 2 rooms away
Kinda wish their gas dissipates if they throw a second one
instantly throws a bomb because you're within 50 meters
and there's zero audio warning at all until the grenade detnates
the bomb doesn't even play the hissing sound as it goes through the air
it's just dead silent and then FWOOM
gas attack
They’re also lot more oppressive in havoc when your toughness regen is lot more compromised
In maelstorms I just kinda regen toughness fast enough I can kinda kite out and it’s more of annoyance than direct danger like fire
But havoc oh boy is it lot deadlier especially if it’s difficult to leave the radius
Tox bombers need to shoot more like shaq and less like kobe
And the explosion interacting my auspex is gonna break my keyboard
Yuh
very rarely does being cornered end up being survivable
you have to have the perfect tool for the job in such a case
Yup exactly the point
that perfect tool is blazing trauma 
It gives me same energy as a new player to COD zombies staying in a corner trying to survive as long as possible
Even so if a fire gets tossed in your area you’re kinda cooked
You’re not pushing past what is presumably dozens of elites unless you have break line/shout/other cc knockdown
bursters also a lil nasty in such a case
if its a trapper and bulwarks, good luck
but also sometimes, pure luck is required
Yup or if you have stealth to dump aggro but if you’re last one
god i've been doing alot of maelstroms, and i get that, hence why i find the most open area or a good choke point and start flaming
They tend to freeze in place
getting back into the game, haven't been playing since before the skill tree reworks. What psyker build should I play?
Nice clip
a gunker is a good "get back in the flow" kind of build
if you were using a specific build/staff, a recreation also a good idea
I'm level 23, for context
just build whatever then, come back when you have 30
ah, i'd suggest my build in the new psyker section of the build guide then
put points in as far as you can, as you unlock them, in pathing order
is it pinned, or in a thread or something?
the guide is pinned
it's the google docs? psyker build bonanza?
yup
or the one on steam?
bonanza
ah i still havent finished the description on it... ill do that... sometime xD
gunker/meleeker is very real
ok so I don't have the listed equipment yet, like, I have a Trascendent Blaze Force Sword with Riposte and Deflector, and a Shredder Autopistol
because I think these were the meta at the time or something
can I use them until I get the deimos force sword and the bolt pistol?
If you already have a force sword you can change marks now
I have zero other equipment
I think I like recycled everything except these two at the time
or sold them, I don't remember what you do with equipment in this game
Inventory>click the item>marks
what force sword do you hae currently?
deimos, obscurus, or illisi
those are the marks of the force swords, because they're all blaze force swords but all very very different
can I check while ina mission_
not really, but you can send me a screenshot of your screen
Does it have the cleave special or the latching special
what was the key to do the brain explosion thing_
yeah you have assail, so no more brain popping
Yes that is assail
I went witht he masteries specified in the guide
please tell me you atleast READ what the keystones and masteries do
skimmed
read is lava
well, i suggest not aiming for deimos, since you for sure can already access deimos, try to get your hands on a greatsword
you have illisi, which is the latest mark of force sword, deimos is one you can just swap it to for free
ah I said Deimos because the guide was mentioning deimos
regarding assail... what should I use it for? Specials? Elites? Bosses?
my build doesnt mention deimos, kariens might
Probably going to feel safer on deimos but obscurus results in better damage
assail is for horde clear assist but mainly to proc malefic momentum, but also specials and elites, yes
not bosses
thats what the FGS would be for, or a gun
Melee ze bosses
i dont actually know kariens build well, i just know karien herself says its just random stuff to get you through the leveling process, and is not a polished build for longterm use
oh ok I would have guessed melee was mostly hordees, guns for things like ranged specials, assail for toughter stuff
I think before I mostly used melee for everything except shooting at dogs or the net guys or whatever
gun
what gun is that?
vraks mark of infantry autogun
warp unbound
also you dont explode AT 100, you explode if you cast at 100, and dont have warp unbound
also for the warp slash wanters, i gotchu
It's funny how many players i've met unaware of this still, i'm not sure how it was before but a lot seem to have a fear of the 95% peril area
I think you can explode at 100 if you get hit? Not just casting
but maybe I'm wrong or it's changed
No
no idea
no
ok good to know
The only thing that ever blows u up
Is casting at dead set 100
You can also do shit like
Charge inferno staff to 99% and let go
Still not blowing up at 100
what, make us explode if using warp at 100, even if its just midcast?
ok so I swapped the talents, I was using Karien's guide now I'm using your build
now I just have to find the weapons
Peril system as a whole more like. I'm a big fan of tap quell min cast but especially coming from VT2 i find it comical how stupidly easy it is (ping being the only real enemy past a point of practice)
i felt that earlier today
these are the weapons I'm using btw
Yep
helped someone on NA West witha penance, then forgot to fix it later
As an eastern european it's very common
yeah
Welp, gl
i have a 70/70 mob/cleave DS so my luck may hold
It's fine, deflector on that illisi is pretty nice, shredder autopistol is aight as a weapon
I gotta look for the plasma
Its not that i dont have dockets
Lowk just lazy sometimes lol
My brain says we should be playing rn
me when i should finish leveling psyker14 but i wanna get my main psyker to 1k
i know that once i hit 1k with him ill want to run another psyker, but i need the character slot freed for me to do so
right click + left click with the sword is push?
yes
and hold left is push attack
which is a 9m range single target shove
will interrupt a crusher overhead
oh ok so it's not like sienna dagger
or things like that
it's single target with all swords?
with the force swords / FGS yes
works with dogs or mutants?
ok so the masteries
using a weapon I improve my mastery with that weapon, and to change marks I have to have enough mastery in that weapon category?
so like I have an Agrippinaa Infantry Autogun but to change it to a Vraks I have to get at least mastery level 3
correct?
Yes
I don't understand the Max Power thing though. I have 100/500 on all weapons
At a certain lvl ull gain the ability to upgrade ur weapon stats.
It scales your weapon stats to their high possible values
At like mastery 7 u can go to 200 then 300 400 and so on
wait you can block dogs? what
and then I guess I have Blessing Points that I can spend on Traits but I have some already unlocked even though I haven't put any points in those I think
You can see the max statline next to each current stat value
Theyre talking about force push force weapons innately have
The same applies to everything else with dogs tho ofc
can I reset the blessings if I put points in a shitty trait?
Its just force weapons can interrupt crushers
Push technically
Force weapons interupt from much further than you think its like 9 meters. If you get good at it managing crushers packs becomes easier.
I didnt learn that till wayyyy too late
No but that is not something you will have to care for soon enough. Gaining mastery on weapons is also achieved via weapon sacrifice which is what most players do since no one likes running around with sub20 mastery weapon
Best way to sacrifice for master is
Go to brunts
Buy weapons of the same type
Consecrate to green at hadron
Sacrifice
Though it's still early for that unless ur dead set on a weapon, this requires dockets + plasteel
how am I doing in terms of those?
for my level
ok and at full mastery you have enough blessing points to max all traits?
It's fine, you got enough plasteel for some mastery sacrifice but dockets will hurt, so id say just play, enjoy the process
Yes, at mastery 20 you get every blessing max
You can freely pick
Pushing dogs is quite safer yeah
I don't know how it works in this game, as in vermintide it is different, but dodging dogs is both easy and annoying.
If a dog is just about to make contact with your body and you dodge, the dog will teleport to you and still pounce

I think I just got a greatsword
my first greatsword
it wasn't in the game when I quit
Nice!
it's green, my old sword was gold, but weapon power is 390 vs 300
I don't have deflector / riposte but whatever I have to farm masteries with this one
ok so it seems the greatsword charges some sort of special attacks, with tho charge bars by the crosshair
how do I release it?
Higher weapon power is good because your overall stats increase, however it should be noted that stats matter. Notice how weapons have stuff like 56% (how much of this stat is actually being applied) / 80% damage (the max value) for example
That raises the more stuff you kill, more dangerous enemy types = more charge, to release it click your special attack input and attack normally
You can hold it to take your time aiming or just click m1 fast, no matter
ok found it, I remembered it was on V but that was probably in Vermintide
or a custom keybind
Real
nope im just fucking dead because im veteran with a chain axe
ironic that the fucking 6 wounds ogryn fucking died
Of course he did, because of the extra wounds he is missing health or toughness that actually helps with survival
guys what is the best stats for voidstrike staff?
blast radius dump
blast radius = 60?
yes
alright, thanks
He barreled himself
Off a ledge
lmfao
mood
And the smyker just folds whenever enemies come from more than 1 direction
as expected
In that case 
He's evidently new because im seeing newbie penances
Why no warp res?
because VS hogs peril
I see
I'm testing Vraks Infantry Autogun but I don't think I'm a fan. Too low damage per hit. How does it compare to the Recon Lasgun XII?
Its amazing on scum
less ammo efficient, harder punch per bullet
overall damage pretty similar between the two, excluding burn
reconlas being slower with that damage, but the benefit being large ammo capacity and crit farming
The vraks mk V also deals with flak better than recon no?
In Thailand for a few weeks
Vraks5 outperforms recon in many ways
yer
I am a massive fan of the vraks mk v
Only thing for me is recoil, capacity, and ammo economy
the recoil actively hurts the ammo economy, since it takes a few shots before it becomes easily controllable, and unless you're playing vet you aren't getting kills with the first shot reliably
Enjoy man
Smiter in my last game outdamaged the bubble burga guy
Smite is so real
I've switched to voidstrike rn because my melee has caught up to the boss damage that I was using the vraks mkv for, and the vraks mkv is often a poor choice for killing dd highlights because of range & stagger
i have 5 psyker builds i'm messing around with and not 1 uses a bubble
Actually my fav bubble build is balloon knight
my #1 ops in life be crushers & trappers hiding in hordes, so that's what I tend to focus on building to deal with
bubble ain't even that good but havoc pubbies will get mad if you don't bring it
they never learned how to deal with ranged enemies and use it as a crutch
that or they never learned how to position and absolutely need the guide
or both
both is very likely
anyone upset at no bubble doesnt know the map well, and is genuinely scared
I just checked the pins by complete accident and through no fault of my own, and the first image reminded me how much I like EXPANDING MY SPHERE OF INFLUENCE ACROSS ATOMA
Sorry, I mean pushing the enemy back so we aren't just camping the same spot while peppered by gunners
These people are a classic case of "just because you're nice, it doesn't mean you're not wrong"
Except the middle one
clown
1st and last were at least polite about it
I wonder if the vet and zealot experiences are the same
voc? chorus? dont doubt it but i feel like its a weird case with psyker
though, my vet only exists as a voc krak helbore bot
The only thing I question is PBB ogryn 
i dont play him otherwise
Imagine not using balloon
balloon is not as cute as blue magic missile bees 😭
i long for some random to call bubble something similarly wild yet accurate
Enemies marked by Disrupt Destiny are those that gain a sort of light blue glow?
or that's a different mechanic?
just had the single worst case of build-complain i've ever had because of this lol
yes but other classes like arby have similar mechanics that do the same thing
Other players cannot see your marked targets
whats the dump stat for the staffs?
Warp resist for all except void STRIKE, which is blast radius
so I got what I wanted but it started out as 280 instead of 300-330 ish the rest of them were popping in as. Just means more empowering to do right? I was lvl 30
Yeah the max stats are always achievable by empowering it to 500 rating
Try the fried bugs, specifically the mealworms btw.
this has solid amusement value
clown
what's going on with the psykers today?
They always suck.
Purg havoc and hope for the best till the season reset
I’ve been seeing rotten armour crushers in my dreams…
s'it that bad?
There’s nothing exceptionally bad about playing psyker in havoc I just don’t like the current season lol
oh, no I meant the rotten armor crushers. I've not played havoc yet lol
yikes
To all carapace units in the game
We should force the devs to play their own balance lul.
Okay maybe scier melee psyker is kinda funny
based mk8 user 😌
there are dozens of us
based voidstrike fgs user
that's a funny looking
mk6 fgs
voidblast and strike are kings
what should my dump stat be on the electrokinetic staff
warp res
nvm yall i checked the pins!
Is this a good build attempt? Feeling play psyker again just for melee
Charge rate / warp resistance depending on what ur building for
for FGS i'd take wrath / riposte imo
and if you're going to do gunker, assail is very important
i also don't think PC/wildfire is worthwhile on gunker
so what are thoughts on crack of bone for meleeker
my time playing this build with FGS, I feel cleave has been good without wrath

which i know is controversial 
yeah i don't think wrath is mandatory or anything
that one is more personal pref
depending on how much time you spend meleeing, perfectionism may also be a better choice
though i also take cruel fortune
this only just gives 5%?
Unstable + shred/riposte
warp resist dump
And probably run assail? I think assail is better with SG tbh
This is up to 20%
Stacks up to 4 times I think?
Description not telling it can stack up made me confused
Kinetic Flayer is kinda too good for me for melee 
that is correct
Assail with peril cleave and cleave subnode is bonkers
